Your contact information will be used for the following purposes – class directory, teacher and parent communications, Parent Council events, and other community events for Syringa Mountain School.

Military-connected student: A student who has a parent, step-parent or sibling serving in the active or reserve components of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or National Guard. 

Even with the greatest precautions and the closest supervision, accidents can and do happen at school. They are a fact of life and a part of the growing-up process our children go through. Parents need to be aware and prepared for possible medical expenses that may arise should their child be injured at school. 

Syringa Mountain School does not provide medical insurance or pay for medical expenses when students are injured at school. This is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians. The school does provide student medical insurance information available to families for their individual purchase. Ask Syringa for more information for specific event insurance available to purchase through at third party. 

Verification of medical insurance is required for all students participating in certain programs such as the ski program and any other school related overnight field trip. When those situations arise, parents will be given notice and medical insurance documentation will be required. Parents, please be prepared for your child's possible medical expenses. 

Throughout the year, teachers plan field trips off campus to hike, explore, and attend events. We will utilize Mountain Rides as a preference if vehicular travel is warranted and the destination is on a bus route; however, we will also use school vans and parent vehicles if needed. We will always ask for individual permission for students to be taken off campus for overnight trips or events outside of regular school hours but ask for your release and agreement signature for teachers to be able to explore daily, as needed, with the students. 

I/we give permission for my child to leave the Syringa Mountain School Campus under the supervision of the teacher, or an approved adult with a background check, to enhance their curricular experience and learn from the outside world with teacher guidance. 

I/we , in consideration of the educational programs to be provided to my child, on behalf of myself/ourselves and my/our child, release, waive, hold harmless and forever discharge Syringa Mountain School (the “School”), its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, independent contractors, agents and/or representatives of any kind, from any and all liability for all actions, all bodily injury and property damage claims, demands, or damages accruing to me/us resulting from any known or unknown injury, loss, or damage to person or property, or death, together with any attorney's fees and costs of litigation including, but not limited to those on appeal or in bankruptcy court, sustained or incurred by me/us, my/our child or any third party on or about the School premises or on a school field trip, while my child is participating in any of the School programs. 

I hereby consent to the treatment of my minor child by a medical physician or medical personnel at any hospital or temporary treatment by a registered or licensed practical nurse or emergency medical technician until a medical physician can be obtained for any illness or injury to my minor child while on the school grounds of Syringa Mountain School or on a school sponsored field trip. 

This consent shall include, but not be limited to, any surgery deemed required or desirable for the immediate health and medical treatment of my child. 

This consent shall be effective only if none of the undersigned can be contacted or found by reasonable diligence at the time of the needed medical treatment. This consent shall terminate as soon as any of the undersigned are contacted, in which case further medical treatment can be done only with the consent of the person contacted. 

This consent shall be valid unless and until revoked in writing by one of the undersigned. 

In order to help us meet the needs of your child, please complete the following: 

To the best of your knowledge, does your child have any problems which may affect his/her learning in school, cause you any concern, and/or may be important for school staff to know. 

Syringa Mountain School is a unique community guided by the Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education. We have additional activities and events that are outside of the core curriculum that enhance the student involvement and opportunity for learning. 

Enrolling in Syringa Mountain School is a commitment to creating the best possible support for your child’s educational success and this is only possible with a strong partnership between home and school. You have not simply chosen a school for your child; you have decided to become a contributing member of a Public Waldorf Inspired Charter community committed to social renewal. The public charter school you have chosen for your child is only possible if we are all working together collaboratively toward shared goals.

3. The funds we receive from the State of Idaho are not sufficient to provide the full Waldorf program we offer. Unlike other Blaine County Public schools, we receive only funding from State and Federal entities. Other Blaine County Public schools for example, receive this, but also receive approximately $10,000 in additional local funding per student from our property taxes and local school levies. 

In order for us to thrive, grow and provide the enriched programs inherent in Waldorf methods, we rely on the resources, networking, and collaborations of our parent body. We seek 100% participation from our families at whatever financial level you are able to contribute. SMS needs to raise approximately $3,000 per student per year to augment operational costs and provide this unique education that offers Waldorf trained staff, additional staff to teach farm and garden, handwork, Spanish, integrated arts such as painting, drawing, drama, and music, including guitars. 

As a school offering such unique and diverse instruction, we need to fundraise to meet our budget needs annually. Receiving no local funding, we apply for grants, hold fundraising events throughout the year, and ask for your help with our annual fund drive. 

Setting up a monthly contribution or a one-time charge is one of the easiest ways to help ensure the quality program we provide thrives. We appreciate any amount donors are able to contribute to help fund the unique educational opportunities we offer your child at SMS!

Student: It is important that I do my best. I know my parents and teachers want to help me, but I am the one who has to do the work. So, I will: believe that I can and will learn, be responsible for my behavior, give work and school papers to my parent/caregiver, pay attention and ask for help when needed, and complete class work on time and to the best of my ability. 

I want my child to succeed and I will encourage him/her by doing the following: encourage positive attitudes about school, support the school discipline policy and school policies, make sure my child attends school regularly, make sure that my child gets 8-10 hours of sleep and to eat nutritious meals, and establish with my child a place and time to study and a daily reading time. 

We agree to: be aware of your child’s needs, communicate with you about your child’s progress frequently, teach basic concepts and skills to your child to meet state student achievement standards, motivate and encourage your child to practice academics at home, hold parent/teacher conferences twice annually, deliver high quality curriculum and instruction, and provide materials for home to enhance literacy and other academic subjects.
